This year the festival was virtual of course, so our readings were pre-recorded and posted on YouTube. You can see mine here. I’m about 7 minutes in.
Poems on Glass
Our local Poet Laureate, Will Reger, and the Urbana Arts and Culture Program, created an opportunity for local poets to write poems to accompany 4 murals (also by local artists) that the city commissioned a few years ago. My poem “At the Iron Post” was selected to be displayed in downtown Urbana under the tremendous mural entitled “Portrait of Chip McNeill” by Christopher Evans. Yesterday we had the ribbon cutting ceremony and I just can’t even say how cool this feels for me.
